Book Synopsis

In this concise and introductory book, David Celani examines the work of Ronald Fairbairn, one of the pioneers of Object Relations Theory.

Ronald Fairbairn: A Contemporary Introduction adopts a unique approach to Fairbairnâs work and legacy. Organizing the book thematically, Celani makes connections between Fairbairnâs disparate and often convoluted papers, offering the reader a more accessible insight into the work of this eminent analyst. He looks in turn at Fairbairnâs field-defining work on Object Relations, split consciousness, repression and the impact of parental neglect on a childâs developing personality. Celani also explores Fairbairnâs assessment of infantsâ dependency on their maternal figure and brings his ideas into the 21st century. Considering the work of Philip Bromberg in tandem with that of Fairbairn, Celani considers the practical, clinical and theoretical implications of Fairbairnâs model.
